Famous quotes containing the words equivalent, definitions, closed and/or set:

    Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality.
    Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)

    What I do not like about our definitions of genius is that there is in them nothing of the day of judgment, nothing of resounding through eternity and nothing of the footsteps of the Almighty.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    We are closed in, and the key is turned
    On our uncertainty;
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.
    Neil Kurshan (20th century)
